⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LUCKMCFLY]

Back in the old days, there were a lot talents which can solo carrying their teams, but it's not gonna possible again in modern football where there's a lot strategy to overcome that. I think it's only Mbappe that can do one man show, both Osimhen and Haaland still need a support from their teammates.

Even Mbappe cannot be a one-man show. If his team is plain bad, he won't be able to do much. He's a good player and the best in his team but he needs his teammates to show for him before he can shine. I don't think there's any player currently that can be a one-man show for his team.
Even Drogba was not a one-man army. If the passes didn't come he won't be able to score.
Drogba was the kind of striker to disturb the opposing defense but most of his goals were given to him. He hardly scores solo goals even those he could create a chance out of nothing sometimes.
Before a player can be called a one-man show the player has to be able to create goals for himself and his teammates, control the tempo of the game, and keep his team alive.
Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar at their peak are the most recent players I could think of that were that good.

Why does everyone delve so deeply into these topics? Football is originally a team game, and if a player single-handedly carries the ball out and scores a goal, then sometimes such people are labelled as tossers who risk failing in attack. Mbappe would fit perfectly into a team with good midfielders. We will see in the winter if he moves to Real Madrid, how good the midfielders are, where he can shine brightly. There are rumours that Real have already gone out to his agent and put conditions on him that if not now, then never. If he refuses, they (Real) will already be trying to buy Haaland and forget about Mbappe forever.

What happens is that now football is measured in other ways, there are more stars and they can make the difference in a team, we are clear that football is 11 and that only 1 player can make the difference, now what we have Seen from football there are many stars, and they clearly stand out and are the ones who can make the Difference at any given moment, because a player stands out above the rest, because he has the ability to score a goal when no one expects him, he can make a play that works for him. so that he can focus on making better plays in Attack or defense, that contribute much more, that is what some see to be able to make a difference , in this Order of ideas we are people who sometimes do not see what we have there at the same time. front, but we must see that when it comes to players like Mbappé, Haaland, Messi himself, CR7, and others, they are special players, who are much better than some of those who are always there, that's why some countries, some teams win faster or gain more without suffering as much because they have at least one star who contributes much more.

There are many players who make a Difference in the world , on each of the continents they have their best players , who only see themselves in the way they do well, but I also agree with what they say, if there is a team that Don't give them the game, don't let them help you, how can a player stand out? There is no way, the star player has to know that without his team he does not shine , so the most intelligent coach like Peoe in his time with Barcelona made the team play only for Messi, that is , Everything happened to Messi so that he was in charge of scoring the goals , that's why there was so much controversy with his other players who were the stars , because everyone gave him plays and he was the one who shone , so in this Order of days things can be seen like this and not from Others as Everyone believes.

More rumors today about a possible loan for Sancho to Juventus.

Remember it will be possible only if Manchester will pay a part of his salary, Juventus can probably use the money of Pogba salary due the imminent ban.

Juventus stands to sign him from Manchester United? Probably one of these rumors circulating round. Jadon Sancho have become more aggressive and no longer feature in Manchester United matches due to the problem he has with the headcoach, Erik Ten Hag. We are quite aware of the problem that raised between them and Erik Ten Hag demand an open apology from the player, and Sancho have been recalcitrant since then. Pushing for an exits door from Old Trafford is very possible because he's a potential player that has alot to handle in the frontline, young and promising.

Jadon Sancho should have obeyed and apologised openly to the coach; doing so will not cost him anything. Also, he will not sit on the bench for an extended period of time without playing because this will negatively impact his performance on the field. Jadon Sancho is a promising young player, but his career could have gone rough because he refused to apologise, but he is fortunate to still be a young player with more to offer any team that signs him. His move to Juventus will be fantastic, but I doubt Manchester United will want to loan him out; they'd rather sell him than loan him and I hope Juventus will also agree to buy him rather than having him on loan in the team.

The main cause of the rift between Jadon Sancho and Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag wasn't disclosed to the public as the ones reported to the media are all believed to be mere rumours but whatever might have caused the issue that angered the manager so much that he said Sancho must apologize to be recalled to the first team must have been very humiliating to the club manager hence that level of action. So in my own opinion, I think it was very bad for a player of Sancho's age and standard to refuse to apologize to his trainer.
Hopefully the loan deal to Juventus materializes for the England international to start enjoying top football once again and prepare to prove himself to England national team manager Gareth Southgate that he's good enough to be picked for the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.

It looks like Joao Felix's situation is becoming more complicated in the future and I think this will be a difficult decision for his career. We know that the relationship between Atletico and Joao Felix is not very good and he is only comfortable at Barcelona. But indeed the steps that Barcelona should take to make him permanent will also experience obstacles in terms of costs. It's certainly not easy for Barcelona from their current finances and right now we don't know what the next steps will be. Even being on the bench will not make Joao Felix happy and maybe it's just a matter of how Simione can convince Joao Felix to overcome the existing problems.

I think it will depend on the money that Barcelona offers to sign Felix. If Barcelona offers a good amount of money, I'm sure Atletico Madrid will consider to sell Felix to Barcelona. They have no good relationship with Felix, they have no reason to keep Felix in their squad a longer time. If they succeed to sell him, Atletico Madrid will get the money to buy new players. Having Felix won't guarantee anything for Barcelona, why Atletico Madrid must feel worried about it? Although Felix can be an obstacle for Atletico Madrid in the future, but it is still our speculation. We don't know if Felix can succeed in Barcelona or not. Too early to claim he feels comfortable in Barcelona.

Atletico madrid has been giving the price tag for felix and what's next? barcelona just need to pay the amount that demanded by atletico madrid and everything is clear now. laporta needs to think how to get 100 millions for him. Atletico madrid will not let that guy to leave from the club without 100 millions. So many times we have seen that how much price offered by atletico madrid to get felix. I remember the day when atletico madrid was offering him to the chelsea but due to the his very expensive price. Chelsea unwilling to get him.
I think that barcelona needs to think several times before the club will try to get him to join in the club. Everything is still remain possible right now. Im feeling that if barcelona will exchange some of its players to him.
Felix is a good guy in barcelona. He was playing freely without being restricted.

This winter apparently Arsenal will focusing to gets new midfielder player this because Thomas Partey still got injured and Jorginho also most likely will leave Arsenal this January so Arteta want to make new midfielder as Arsenal priority and recently Arsenal was linked to Aston Villa player Douglas Luiz this because they were impress to Luiz performance this season especially after he can able to bringing Aston Villa to performing well in Premier league and actually Aston Villa was agree to release this player but Douglas Luiz price will be very expensive because if Arsenal buy him the price shouldn't be less than 80 millions but Douglas Luiz still hasn't give a statement regarding this rumour but i think if this really happend it could be a good transfer for Arsenal because i have been watching Douglas Luiz performance during this season and his performance was really impressive

[Velvet78]

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is said to be open for offers coming to Casemiro, Sancho and Varane.

I understand the Sancho situation because he can't find middle way with the manager so he is expected to leave as soon as possible. But I don't know whether they really need to part ways with the other two players I said. It is true that both of them don't play like in the past. But they are still qualified players who can improve their performances in time. If they send both of them they had better find really solid alternatives.

[mv1986]

Well, players are going to protest against the coach right now. Because he's not doing a good job at this moment. And honestly, he has nobody to blame for this one. The club has given him enough money and resources. And he made a second Ajax team here in Manchester United.

There was no reason to let de Gea go at all. He was not the problem. And I am very surprised to see how the coach did not understand that. The decisions that he has taken are definitely not popular and also not good for the club. We have seen coaches make unpopular decisions for the best future of the club. But in the case of Manchester United, it is not working out.

It was one of his short-sighted ego actions that gave him pleasure because he was able to demonstrate the power he has over somebody else. Ten Hag is the worst, but when Manchester United doesn't fire him after all those weeks, what are the chances they will fire him now that he won the game against Chelsea? Nobody understands what their agenda is for this club. I know there have been negotiations and I thought that this is why some critical decisions may have been put on ice, but it doesn't seem like a big transaction is coming soon, though ten Hag still has the backing from his bosses.

His move to Juventus will be fantastic, but I doubt Manchester United will want to loan him out; they'd rather sell him than loan him and I hope Juventus will also agree to buy him rather than having him on loan in the team.

What you say is true, if Jadon Sancho thought and acted like that then he would not be alienated by Ten Hag at this time. I think young players need more advice from their seniors or agents, to change their way of thinking for the sake of the sustainability of their careers in the future. However, we never know the details of the conflict other than what we read in the media. It could be that the breakdown in his relationship with Ten Hag as a result of refusing an apology is sometimes only one part, who knows, behind the scenes there are more things we missed.

Previously, several clubs were reported to be interested in recruiting Sancho, including Juventus and Dortmund. However, everything will be proven when the transfer window opens, but here considering the background of the move due to conflict, it is clear that United will not accept the loan offer. It makes sense because they intend to let him go and keep Ten Hag longer, which is why the possibility of a loan is hard to happen.

I wouldn't have had any problem with Sancho doing that if the coach actually brought good results. There are definitely some problems with the tactics that the coaches trying to implement. And that is the reason why some of the players are very unsettled right now. The coach is not being able to bring in good results.

Well, it does not mean that if the coach is not able to bring in good results, the players should not listen to him. But when the coach is so arrogant, and it feels like he is bringing the best results, even though he is not, And the players are also not feeling very good in the environment, the players are allowed to say something.

There options for this club to either fly or stable reluctant in one spot. There are good players that will leave Old Trafford, their absence will be felt in the club and it will likely affects the performance of the Red Devils. That's were Erik Ten Hag steps in, he will ensure that doesn't happen, instead Manchester United will keep striving for good results and practice to become higher in leagues. Jadon Sancho will exits Manchester United door's in the coming January transfer window due to differences he had with the headcoach and have adamantly refused to apologized.

Ten hat knows that if he needs to increase his budget. In fact that if glazer may not give lots of money for ten hag to shooping for the winter transfer season. This is the main reason why the club shall sell some players. Manchester unied will be selling a lot of players.
The old players will be under the name to be sold for the young talented players. Manchester untied has been targeting some names and it needs more money to make sure the club can buy some important players.
I can accept this reason why ten hag shall sell some players cuased by it's to increase its budget. Ten hag knows MU shall not need to keep old players.

The Glazers family have no idea of how the club's have been struggling in past decades, gone are those days we will see Manchester united winning major trophies other than settling for their past records as if those players during that period didn't do their best to set things in place and it have boost the present performance of the club till this very date. Erik Ten Hag will sell some of his vital players in upcoming summer because he needs sufficient funds to raise for the purpose to sign more prominent and potential players this season, he has to strengthen his squad because there's absolutely no backup players that can fit into the shoes of primary players in the club.

These three players are actually still really needed by Manchester United with the club's current performance being inconsistent, especially as they have quite a long experience in football, they are still old enough to play, but unfortunately Erik Ten Hag doesn't trust these three players and is trying to sell them, even though Casemiro and Varane are new. Just joined Manchester United recently, especially Casemiro only joined Manchester United last year after being recruited from Real Madrid.
However, if Manchester United can recruit better players from the sale of these three players then this will not be a wrong step for Manchester United.
Moreover, Casemiro and Varane have been targeted by Saudi Arabian clubs, namely Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, these clubs will definitely buy these players at quite expensive prices and this will be an advantage for the Manchester United club, but I We hope that if Erik Ten Hag recruits new players, don't let this season's mistakes repeat themselves, where Erik Ten Hag actually threw away a lot of important players and recruited players who weren't really needed, resulting in a decline in performance at the start of this season.

[rendravolt]

Mark my words.

Hallan will go to Real Madrid and Mbappè will not. 

I don't doubt this because Haaland has more open opportunities than Mbappe. We know that Real Madrid have almost given up on getting Mbappe and they don't want to be shackled with a player who is very difficult to manage. It is possible that Mbappe will still continue his career at PSG and will receive another big offer from PSG and he cannot refuse it anymore.

Haaland is definitely happy to get what he wants at Manchester City from all the titles to individual records and now he is only targeting the Ballon D'Or award. Therefore, with Real Madrid everything will be easier to achieve and I think Haaland is the striker figure that Real Madrid currently needs and from the support of the other players at Real Madrid, they are now completely strong enough to push Haaland.

Funny how Arsenal now have enough money to buy players. Douglas Luiz would be a good replacement. Although gunner's should have made moves for former Leicester City Youri Tielemans who was on a free transfer last window. There's no much age difference between the both players though, maybe Arsenal wants a player with more physical looks and athletic builds. 80M kinda too big for him in my own opinion.

Maybe Rapheal Varane can leave even if he was key alongside Lisandro Martinez to the top performance of Manchester United defense.
Erik Ten Hag has always build from the back, its the reason for a goalkeeper with good feet's and defender's with high confidence to hold the ball and build from the back! Casemiro leaving? Not too soon he would be around until the end of the season!

Which club that is going to be chosen by guirassy?  

Newcastle / Manunited

I think that manchester united may become a better place for guirassy to get more experience but these EPL clubs are not the only clubs who have been targeting guirassy. I have heard that there were also some demands came from the other leagues too.
It's hard to speculate in which club guirassy has been deciding his choice.

Manchester united is looking good now as its striker hojlund was performing so badly. Hojlund can be replaced with guirassy and this is also the main target owned by manchester united.
That's quite amazing to see that how ten hag is trying to wipe out some players to give some spots for the young players.

I do appreciate it right now.

If Sancho is able to make a good contribution, Juventus will certainly be able to pay him his full salary and make him permanent.

the problems at Man United will not recover soon as long as there is no change in coach and I hope there is something new for Man United to get out of its current bad state and take back its former glory days.

his fate now depends on Barcelona decision in terms of the impact that Joao had while at Barcelona  his thirst is a benchmark that this player is playing with all his heart. I am surprised that a quality player  like Joao Felix was completely rejected from  returning to Atletico Madrid.  Barcelona also has no choice because of its finances.  But seeing how Joao Felix acted at  Barcelona who was willing  to reduce his salary as long as he could play at Barcelona I think  he is trying to continue to exist  and show everyone that he is still  worthy of playing. Returning to Atletico Madrid  a club that has been inconsistent  is being embarrassed  by its own players  and for some reason Joao Felix goal  against Atletico  Madrid implies a  deep expression. In my opinion that was the  biggest blow that Joao Felix wanted to  show.

Casemiro and Varane are no longer trusted by coach Erik ten Hag because of their decline in performance. Currently, Casemiro is recovering from injury, and Varane is only the third choice as a central defender after Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. Sancho was abandoned by Ten Hag a long time ago and has no future at MU. MU is ready to accept a move to loan Sancho with the condition of buying outright for 45 million pounds. Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are also potential landing spots for Sancho.

I can't guess what Ten Hag is thinking, but if MU is eliminated from the Champions League and the Premier League. So the person who needs to leave is probably named Ten Hag.

Players whose contribution to the club has decreased should indeed be sold if there is a club that wants these players, and replacing them with new players and good enough and will certainly be good for Manchester United, but we can see a team that is performing poorly and starting to make changes by filling the squad with new players and also young players need time to become a strong team, we can see for example at Arsenal when Mikel Arteta came it took several seasons for their young players to become what they are now, although we can see there are other teams that look quite calm in making changes but the coach then did they succeed in bringing the team to perform better, like Aston Villa who just made a surprise by beating Manchester City.
Manchester United's fate in the Champions League is almost certain to be eliminated, while in the English Premier League, they will not be eliminated, it will only be difficult to get a spot in European competition next season.

But they are still qualified players who can improve their performances in time. If they send both of them they had better find really solid alternatives.

Erik ten Hag's offers for Casemiro and Varane is confusing to me. I understand the entire problem with Sancho; he's not getting along with the boss, therefore his exit looks likely. I'm not quite sure, though, about Varane and Casemiro. These guys still have a lot of promise, even though they may not be playing at their best right now. It seems a little harsh to let them go. I mean, they really have to find good replacements if they decide to sell.  Ten Hag appears to be attempting to restructure the team, which makes sense to me. However, it's a fine line to balance bringing in new players with keeping the established ones. Experience and established skill are valuable and cannot be ignored in favor of a tight budget. To truly compete at the top level, the team requires a blend of youth and experience. All I can hope is that they have a well-defined, long-term plan in mind when making these judgments
